Information Lucia P. would like to know about your pet

Any personality triggers or food aggressiveness is nice to know but not deal breakers. I’ve worked with and cared for so many different types of animals.

A typical day

Walks, toy/play time, treat time, and one-on-one lovies! We have a fenced in pool and dogs are free to swim; back door is open so everyone is free to go in and out as they please.

Pet care experience

I have a remote work from home position with a flexible schedule. I have adopted two medium sized beagle mix dogs: Pepè (after the cartoon skunk) and Jerry (after Jerry Garcia). Prior to my dogs, I’ve always had 1, 2, or 3 dogs in my childhood home - sometimes even with a cat. Usually small breeds, like silkies and yorkies, but as large as lab mixes. I’ve cared for and live with breeds as large as polish tatras. I will care for animals as you instruct. I understand animals picking up bad habits and understand these are your fur babies. I love animals and I enjoy spending time with cats and dogs alike. Check out my happy clients on IG LuciaOnRover My philosophy is simple: I’m going to do my best to read the needs of the animal. I will also provide love and encouragement - but not afraid to be stern if needed (or requested by the owner). I try to understand how you care for your pet so I can provide a similar experience.

Lucia and family are the best! Shiloh LOVES going to Lucia’s where she is well taken care of, gets to have lots of fun and burns of plenty of energy playing ball and running around with the other dogs. Shiloh adores Lucia’s daughter and I hear the feeling is mutual. They are great pals. So glad I found such an awesome sitter for our sweet girl.

Lucia was amazing with our 7 y/o golden retriever. She had the best time playing with Lucia’s other dogs. Very flexible and communicative. We will definitely be using Lucia’s services again! 10/10 recommend!

Shiloh really enjoyed her sleepover at Lucia’s. She was well fed, got to make some new doggie friends, and best of all got lots of love and attention. Shiloh and I highly recommend Lucia, she’s kind, patient, and caring.
